Triumphant Life Podcast: Episode 6 – What Kind of Influence are You Having on Others?

I was scheduled to speak at a large conference at the Convention Center this weekend but the week leading up the conference was extremely busy with client meetings and other talks. There was a great deal that I needed to do to prepare for this conference so I worked diligently all Friday afternoon and evening. I guess I was a bit worried because I found myself laying awake that night thinking through all of the details in an attempt to make sure I wasn’t forgetting about anything important.

The next morning, my alarm went off early as planned and I got up feeling quite tired and I began to wonder to myself, “Why am I doing this? Why am I putting myself through this extra stress? “I have so much on my plate. Maybe I should pass on agreeing to do events like this in the future.”

When I arrived at the event I was warmly greeted by many fans and followers who told me they came to the event just to see me. They heard that I would be speaking and some even went out of their way to be there. By the end of a very long day where I was on my feet non-stop speaking to various people, one woman approached me who proceeded to tell me that she heard me speak EIGHT years ago and how I had changed her life for the better. She went into great detail about all of the things she did to improve her life and that of her daughter’s. I was so stunned and my heart opened with gratitude. I then realized this is exactly why I go through the effort to do these events. Everyone who approached me so warmly this weekend made all of the work more than worthwhile.

This made me think about INFLUENCE. If I wasn’t there seeing these people in person, I would have never known the positive influence I was having on their lives. It made me realize, that I need to always strive to be my best wherever I go and whatever I do, so that I can continue to be a positive role model for others.

In the High Performance™ work that I do, we recognize that the world’s most accomplished people are incredibly influential. These are people who live the most successful lives in all areas of their life and they continuously strive to be even better.

When we think of influential people, we recognize that they teach us how to think, they challenge us, and they are good role models for others. I realized today, this is exactly what I truly hope to do. I constantly try to inspire and teach others how to think and live differently so that they can be energized in both mind and body. I challenge them by asking if they think they can follow through with my advice and if they will begin today. And, I practice what I teach.

So, what kind of influence are you truly having on others?

Contemplate this and then begin to be your best for your loved ones, your clients, your colleagues and everyone you come in contact with including the clerk at the bank and the checkout person at the grocery store. Greet everyone with a smile and a compliment and be a good example of what it means to live your most Triumphant Life.
